373: Vicious
Ji Hongye hugged the person in his arms, and his heart suddenly became peaceful. He patted her back gently, just as he had done so many days before when he had lulled her to sleep. Their bodies are very compatible, and even if the owner still has a lot of precautions in his heart, it is still easiest for them to enter a relaxed state when they lean on each other.
Ji Hongye, who was not sleepy, smelled the familiar smell of green bamboo in his arms, and even brewed sleepiness. He slowly closed his eyes, looking for a kiss on the cheek of the man in his arms. provoked her displeasure, and buried him deeper in his arms, but he still didn't wake up.
Ji Hongye bent the corners of her mouth shallowly, and finally understood in her heart that she couldn't suppress the emptiness in her heart even when she was busy these days, because she was not by her side. For him, this moment seemed to be complete.
On the second day, the exact news came from the Tai Hospital that the dried green plums had indeed been added with something that hurt the fetus. But that thing can't be called medicine, because it's extracted from food.
As soon as Ji Hongye thought that it was really Ji Yunxi who did it, he was furious in his heart. He knows Ah Jin very well and knows that she is really good to Ji Yunxi. Whether it was her relationship with the Lu family at the beginning, or the big mistake she made in the Lu family later, Ah Jin came forward to solve it for her.
Although the Lu family took care of him, the secretary of the criminal department, if it weren't for Ah Jin's insistence on protecting Ji Yunxi, this kind of inner house matter was his sister's mistake, and he would not have taken care of it.
But what is she giving back to Ah Jin now? Wanting to harm her miscarriage, this must be a vicious heart. She was his sister, and the funny thing was that he had never seen it.
Ji Hongye went to the Tai Hospital in person, and the doctors also knew that it was this dried green plum that injured the old lady Ji Ge's fetus. They all knew that Ji Ge Lao was very pampered and doted on his wife, and now that they saw him go to the Tai Hospital in person, everyone dared not explain in detail.
Ji Hongye listened to their narration, and his eyes deepened. Dried green plums are harmless, but someone took the purified almond juice and applied it to it during the drying process.
You must know that almonds hurt the fetus, although the amount is small, but after all, it is equivalent to taking chronic injury fetal medicine, and eating too much dried green plums is not just as simple as a miscarriage, and it may also kill a pregnant woman.
Because the older the month, the greater the risk of having a stillborn baby removed. In that case, if the mother is fortunate enough to save her life, most of them will hurt her body, and it is impossible to give birth again in this life.
This scheming can be said to be ruthless, even in the treacherous harem battle, this kind of insidious means is not common.
Although Ji Hongye wanted to dispose of Ji Yunxi now, considering the lack of evidence, he decided to put it aside for the time being. It's just that he is paying more and more attention to Lu Yuanan, and if he wants to find evidence from the Lu family, he can only start from him.
Although Lu Yuanan is only a fifth-grade official, after all, he is a few years older than Ji Hongye, and he has been an official in the court for many years, so he is the best at looking at the situation. Ji Hongye only clicked slightly, and he knew his intentions.
"Since the problem is on the dried green plums, the lower official will personally go back to the house to investigate. ”
Ji Hongye nodded, and said lightly: "It's okay, just don't startle the snake." ”
Lu Yuanan bowed and said, "Xiaguan understands." ”
In fact, from a personal emotional point of view, Lu Yuanan doesn't want to leave Ji Yunxi in the Lu Mansion now. It's not that he likes the new and hates the old, or because he doesn't like her, but what Ji Yunxi is doing now has made him unbearable.
She relied on her third brother to be his boss, and she knew that her mother was protective of him, so she made it difficult for his mother in every way in order to make his career smooth. Now in the backyard of the Lu Mansion, who doesn't want to look at her face when doing things?
Every time he wanted to lose his temper, he would meet her innocent eyes again. She never thinks that what she does is wrong, but behaves very filially. Every morning and dusk, I wake up to say hello to my mother-in-law, and my mother-in-law is waiting beside her when she is sick, and some people who don't know her will think that she is virtuous.
But Lu Yuanan knows that what she does is superficial. The reason why her mother can really obey her is nothing more than that she relies on her brother to grow his father's career.
It was for him that his mother had to compromise. To praise her daughter-in-law in front of outsiders, and to give her enough face in front of her subordinates, her mother is in her seventies, and she has to be careful to please her daughter-in-law. He is not wood, how can he accept it in his heart?
And as far as his personal intentions are concerned, Nalan Jinxiu is the person in his heart after all, even if he has nothing to do with him, he hopes that she will be well. And as far as he knows, Nalan Jinxiu treats Ji Yunxi very kindly, and the two of them just talk about everything when they are in the boudoir. Now that he is being calculated by the people closest to him, it must be chilling.
The more Lu Yuanan thought about it, the more he felt that Ji Yunxi was a person with dark and deep thoughts. If such a person stays in the Lu family, sooner or later he will bring disaster to the Lu family, and he must not continue to stay by his side.
Now that he has Ji Hongye's words, this is tantamount to a relief for Lu Yuanan, and he naturally can't startle the snake. And this time, you must have enough evidence, no matter how cunning Ren Ji Yunxi is, she can't defend herself. He wants to clear her out of the Lu Mansion and have nothing to do with her from now on.
He has been in the Criminal Department for several years, and if he wants to investigate such a matter in the house, it will naturally be difficult for him. He first detained Ji Yunxi's personal maid, and then caught the maid's friend, that is, Fusheng, a little maid who worked in the outer courtyard of the Lu Mansion.
Ji Yunxi's personal maid is a hard-mouthed maid, and she refuses to spit no matter how intimidating he is. In the end, he couldn't help but move, and as soon as the criminal law came up, the little guy named Fusheng couldn't help but spit out, and explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly.
The almond juice was refined by someone he had found, in a village not far west of Jinling City. There are some farmers who make a living from planting, and almost every family has a few apricot trees, and they usually make snacks for their children. He was responsible for harvesting the almonds, and then hired a local family to cook and purify the almond juice.
Then soak the dried green plums in the almond juice of the purest concentration. The almonds themselves have a bitter astringency, so some honey is added to them, and then the dried plums are dried a second time.
He is only responsible for collecting almond juice, and soaking and drying are all done by Ji Yunxi himself. As for where those green plums were sent and who they were used for, they don't know.
Lu Yuanan originally wanted to ask Ji Yunxi in person, but he really didn't want to face her again, so he asked people to tie her up and send her directly to Jinyuan. He also took into account that Nalan Jinxiu was raising a baby, so he took Ji Yunxi to the study in the front yard and handed it over to Ji Hongye.
Ji Yunxi was tied up by two mothers-in-law and stuffed into the carriage, and she was gagged with a cloth ball, so she thought that it might be the East Window incident. She didn't do this very well, and it can even be said that there were many loopholes, and she knew that sooner or later someone would find out. When she decided to do this, she was already prepared in her heart, and she was not panicked at this moment.
Ji Hongye was still wearing office clothes, it could be seen that he came back from outside, and he hadn't had time to change his clothes, so he was probably waiting for her. Ji Yunxi couldn't help sneering, and said secretly in his heart: "Sure enough, it moved his heart, he had to deal with it personally, and he was so impatient." If he knew that Lu Yuanan was coveting his wife, and even shouted it out in his sleep, I don't know how he would feel?"
Ji Hongye asked Ji Yunxi to loosen the tie, and asked her condescendingly: "Do you know what is wrong?"
Ji Yunxi looked at her half-brother and smiled suspiciously. She straightened her messy hair, and straightened the corners of her robe until she looked the same as usual, and then she said slowly, "I don't know what I've done, it's worth letting you do this to me?"
Ji Hongye is a very sharp person by nature, and he found that Ji Yunxi is different from before. In the past, no matter who she looked at, her eyes would be a little evasive. Now, even if he stood in front of her so condescendingly, she was at ease.
The most important thing is that her eyes, which were once as clear as water, made people feel very comfortable when they looked at them. And now there is bottomless ridicule in it, and there is a strong hatred.
"What did you do yourself, don't you know in your heart?" Ji Hongye frowned gloomily, and there was no expression on his face, cold like a puppet. He rarely has such a state in his life, and he only does this when he encounters tricky things in business.
"The third brother talks to me like this, I'm not used to it. I am your sister, not your prisoner. ”
"You are no different from a prisoner in my heart. ”
Ji Yunxi laughed again when she heard this, this time laughing even more than just now. Not only did his voice rise a few degrees, but his movements became more and more exaggerated, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
Ji Hongye's eyes didn't change, he really wanted to see how long she could be crazy like this. He also wanted to know what kind of changes had happened to her psychology that would make her the way she is now.
"Even before, you didn't think of me as a sister. Ji Yunxi covered the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, and the sarcasm in her eyes deepened: "You are the only concubine of the Ji family, you became famous at a young age, and everyone in the Ji family worships you as a god." As for me, I am just a concubine daughter, and my biological mother died young. My father doesn't seem to remember me as a child, my grandmother doesn't like me, and you don't even look at me. In your hearts, when did you think of me as family?"
Ji Hongye did not deny what she said, but this could not be a reason for her to harm Ah Jin, because everyone in the entire mansion was like this. Even his eldest son, who is very glamorous in the eyes of outsiders, few people regard him as a real family member......
